)-- Through her new book, "Questioning Protocol," Randi seeks to enable caregivers to feel in-control and to understand the choices that need to be made on behalf of their ailing loved ones. She has witnessed families being intimated by the medical community and overwhelmed by vast amounts of information and emotion.
Randi advocates a simple understanding and offers the tools needed in an emotional situation.

This combination of what to do and how to do it gives readers the missing link to ensure they can become their loved one’s best health care advocate.
Because Randi and her husband mastered how – and when – to ask the right questions, get understandable answers and evaluate alternatives, their son is thriving and managing his chronic disease with nutrition management and no medication.
